Week #22 - CHANGING

Howdy y'all!!! 

This week changed my mission. I feel like I have found my purpose for being here and what my driving force needs to be. Missions are literally the best at helping someone grow because there is always something more that you can do. 

I got a new companion!!! His name is Elder Smedley.  He is from Inkom, Idaho and has been out for 10 months.  He is such a strong missionary and really loves the gospel.  He has already forced me to become better and to stretch myself even more.  It's going to be a great transfer!!!!

This week we set two dates!!  They are pretty far off, but we set goals with the two people and now will let Heavenly Father prepare them. 

The campus life is still the best life.  We get the opportunity to contact on campus from 10-5 pretty much every day and I seriously look forward to it.  We really focus on becoming friends with everyone we meet and gaining that relationship, then we invite them to learn.  It works really well and we find people with such pure desires. 

This week we had a lesson with someone who just wanted to know more about Mormons.  As we sat down, she had a list of questions and just wanted them answered.  After 3 hours of questions and answers she wanted to read the Book of Mormon and meet with us again.  I love how this gospel is all interwoven.  We can always find answers and it will all connect together.  God is so great. 

This week my scripture is 2 Chronicles 15:7, "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded."  Every day I wake up and remember I need to be strong and the Lord will reward me, whether that comes in physical ways or in spiritual ways, Heavenly Father will always look out for me. 

The mission life is the best life.  Every day when I leave the apartment I just feel happy because my only job for that day is to provide light to others.  I am so blessed.  I can feel my habits and my tendicies changing daily.  I can feel myself becoming better all thanks to my Heavenly Father.  

Texas is the best place to be and I am so happy to be here.  I love y'all and God bless.
